telling him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer what Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

His disciples said to Him, “You see the crowd pressing against You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”

Then He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).

But you say, ‘If a man tells his father or mother: Whatever benefit you might have received from me is Corban’” (that is, a gift committed to the temple),

Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

“But you,” He asked them again, “who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered Him, “You are the Messiah!”

because he did not know what he should say, since they were terrified.

Then they began to question Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”

I assure you: If anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

They began to argue among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

But if we say, ‘From men’”—they were afraid of the crowd, because everyone thought that John was a genuine prophet.

So Jesus asked this question as He taught in the temple complex, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is the Son of David?

David himself says by the Holy Spirit:

The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at My right hand
until I put Your enemies under Your feet.’

They devour widows’ houses and say long prayers just for show. These will receive harsher punishment.”

So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour—say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert!”

Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room for Me to eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

They began to be distressed and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”

And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him.

“We heard Him say, ‘I will demolish this sanctuary made by human hands, and in three days I will build another not made by hands.’”

[So the Scripture was fulfilled that says: And He was counted among outlaws.]
